Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Rixos Premium Dubrovnik is best for wellness enthusiasts seeking a walkable retreat near the historic centre. Very highly rated by thousands of guests, the property features the extensive Anjana Spa alongside diverse dining that includes teppanyaki and fresh seafood. Guests can enjoy panoramic Adriatic views from the terraced architecture, but must anticipate a battle for poolside sun loungers during busy times. Additionally, the outdoor pool area has seasonal availability, and the return journey from Dubrovnik's historic core involves a noticeable uphill walk.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 11 hotels we list in Dubrovnik is 9.3.
The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- The hotel’s cliffside position ensures that many rooms and the outdoor terrace overlook the Adriatic Sea. This terraced design maximizes natural light and provides a constant visual connection to the Dalmatian coastline.
- Spread over two floors, the Anjana Spa includes a large indoor pool, hammam, and various saunas. It offers a comprehensive range of treatments influenced by both local traditions and international wellness practices.
Things to Consider
- The outdoor swimming pools and certain terrace facilities are typically closed during the winter months. Guests visiting in the off-season will need to utilize the indoor spa pool for swimming and aquatic relaxation.
- While the stroll to the historic center is manageable, the return journey involves a steady incline. Travelers with limited mobility or those carrying heavy bags may prefer utilizing the frequent local bus or taxi services.

Reviews from Google“The holiday was absolutely amazing and the hotel met all our expectations. The hotel facilities were nicely spacious and bright. The service was efficient and friendly. The pool area was great and there was always space when needed. We would like to give a special mention to Nadi, the leader of the pilates and yoga classes. She was an absolutely amazing and knowledgeable instructor. Her gym classes, which were included in the accommodation price, were a great way to start the day.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Rixos Premium Dubrovnik. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The hotel is beautiful, the location is fantastic, and the views over the Adriatic Sea are simply breathtaking. Our room was comfortable, beautifully presented and had an amazing view. The food was excellent, the facilities were outstanding, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. What made our stay even more special was the incredible attention to detail from the staff. We were celebrating a birthday during our stay, and the team went above and beyond to make the occasion memorable. They surprised us with a beautiful birthday cake and champagne, which was such a lovely and thoughtful gesture. We truly appreciated the care and attention they gave us on such a special occasion. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive and professional throughout our entire stay, always making us feel welcome and well looked after. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and one of the best hotel stays we have ever had. We enjoyed every moment and would happily return to Rixos Premium Dubrovnik. Highly recommended!”
“I would like to give this hotel a very high recommendation. It starts at the top of management and transcends to every level below. The hotel itself is gorgeous, clean, and very well maintained. It is extremely comfortable in every single way. I enjoy going to the gym on my vacations and the gym is very well equipped for your workout needs. I would like to say we had such an amazing experience with Jelena, the Sommelier, who was extremely well-versed in her wine knowledge. Ana, from guest relations was over the top helpful. She made sure we were comfortable. Bahar, who is the restaurant manager at Mykorini was amazing. Helping us pick out our perfect meals. Mirela was the concierge and she was outstanding. Holding our hands through the perfect trip.”

The views are beyond amazing - and the set up to swim in the sea was great . Lots of sun beds . 15 min walk to the old town. Highly recommend”
“Absolutely stunning Hotel,carved into the rock face, straight down to the sea. Rooms were spacious and comfy.First class Hotel,all the staff are exceptional, very friendly and extremely helpful. Multiple restaurants,hair salon,cosmetic facilities, spa,casino,gym,indoor & outdoor pools,function rooms,clothing shops, pool tables, kids play room and multiple bars and sports bar. Buffet style main restaurant with themed evening meals, outdoor eating areas. Food and drink was amazing, if I was honest, way to posh for me, but varied choice, so never went hungry.
